Situated in picturesque Montecito, Rosewood Miramar Beach embraces Rosewood’s guiding A Sense of Place philosophy, wherein each location’s history, culture and sensibilities are woven into all aspects of the property, at every turn. The resort’s residential design draws inspiration from the grand estates of the surrounding area, creating an atmosphere similar to that of a private home with unparalleled guest service and unique experiences constantly on offer. Boasting 161 ultra-luxury accommodations in addition to an array of inspired amenities, including six distinct dining venues, a state-of-the-art spa and fitness center, high-end onsite retail experiences, two artfully designed swimming pools and fully-serviced beach access, Rosewood Miramar Beach was quickly established as a discerning destination for locals and travelers worldwide. This honor comes in the resort’s first year of eligibility to be included on the list following its opening in March 2019 and is the latest accolade received following inclusion on Condé Nast Traveler’s 2020 Hot List, recognition of Caruso’s in Wine Spectator’s Restaurant Awards and a Five-Star distinction from Forbes Travel Guide for Sense, A Rosewood Spa.
The World’s Best Awards are determined by a survey developed by the editors of Travel + Leisure, in association with research firm M&RR. For four months, readers were invited to participate through Travel + Leisure magazine, T+L tablet editions, newsletters, social media and on Travel + Leisure’s website. Respondents were asked to rate a wide range of hospitality brands on several characteristics. For each characteristic, respondents could choose a rating of excellent, above average, average, below average, or poor and the final scores are indexed averages of these responses.
